First Of All : We are very proud to officially announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.

A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California

Platforms: PlayStation 3 and XboxMultiplayer is confirmed, but no details yetIt is confirmed, there will be no co-opThere will be a lot of DLC packs, with a wide variety of things, no more info has been givenRelease Date: Septermber 17, 2013

Map/Locations/Pedestrian Interaction :

Biggest Map in the History of RockstarLocation: Rockford Hills, Similar to Beverly HillsLocation: Blaine County: Desert fulled of Bikers, Meth heads, and other of those sortsLocation: Vespucci Beach, Similar to Vennice beachThe map is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead, San Andreas, And GTA IV... Combined! With even more room to spareThis huge maps includes Beach fronts, wine country, a large wilderness (The surrounds Mt. Chiliad, which is fully explorable), a Salton Sea region, a military base, Suburban hills, and obviously the center of it all, the City.You can also grab Scuba equipment and explore the bottom of the ocean!As most know, we are returning to Los Santos, with some changes, one major change is a big country side outside the cityWhen flying you can miles in game, really capturing the landDetail is incredible, even high detail in shelves in storesLess walking peds on the streetBut more peds doing human like things, such as hanging outReally trying to replicate a realistic LA feelWalking down the street you can casually meet people and talkThe gun store “Ammu-Nation” is back

Game-play/Story3 Main characters, and you can switch between them at any timeThey say driving has really improved. They added for physics to the cars, and it almost feels like a racing game.Shooting has changed a lot from previous gamesThe improved the hand combat system, making it more powerful and funWhen switching characters (In one case done by making a call) you zoom out then zoom back in, having a Google earth-like feelingThe story line continues with the character even if not playing as them, meaning they can get into all sort of trouble while playing as another character (Sounds a little like the Sims)You learn about other characters as playing as the others, meaning playing as Michael you may learn something about Trevor, but Trevor may not even know. Leaving room for plenty of ironyThe main missions of the game will be about Heist'sSome missions you use all 3 character and have them work togetherWith the ability of switching characters you can skip the boring parts of the missions like driving and things like that

Vehicles/Transportation :

New truck named the Bodhi, similar to a Jeep WranglerNew Car: 9F, similar to a Audi R8The player can controller the roof if a car is a convertibleConfirmed vehicles so far: BMX bike, Mountain Bikes, Road bikes, dirt bikes, huge collection of cars and trucks, helicopters, planes, ATV's, and Jetski'sRappelling is now in the gameParachuting is back
